Q:Placement of the tabs

Gang,
I a page which consists of a number of tabs and subtabs. On this page there is a report region and a report parameters region. The report has lots of columns so the end user must do a horizontal scroll to be able to see the columns which is fine but I don't want the end-user to scroll to be able to see the tabs. Any idea on how to make this happen?
Cheers
Andy

Hello Andy,
In your page template (I looked at the one level tab, but I suspect the principle is the same for the two level tab) you can see a table, which include the #TAB_CELLS# substitution string. The original alignment of this table is “right”. I’ve changed it to “left” and it seems to do the trick you need:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" align="left"><tr><td> </td>#TAB_CELLS#</tr></table>Please try it in your application.
Regards,
Arie.

JTabbedPane and content placement on the tab

Hello,
I created a tabbed pane using JTabbedPane. Added two tabs to it using addTab. One of the tab's content is quite tall while other tab's content is quite short. Contents of both tab are created and added to JPanel which is then added to the tab.
When that window is displayed, contents in the short tab shows at the center of the screen. How do I make contents from short tab display at top....kind of like bind to the top.

Of the many possible ways, the one that first comes to mind is to add the panel containing your "short" contents to a panel with a BorderLayout at NORTH, and add the outer panel to the tabbed pane.

How can I put the tabs back under my toolbar?

I stupidly set firefox to automatically update, and the newest version has fundamental UI changes that I absolutely hate with the fire of a thousand suns. I want my tabs back where I had them, directly over the content of the page, underneath the address bar and my quicklinks bar, the only place the tabs should ever be. The exact place where the information the tabs provide ("What page am I looking at?") is the most useful. Only someone with a severe head injury would think the tabs should be way up at the top of the application. They provide no useful information at the top of the screen. Placing them directly above the content they control is the most sensible place for the tabs to be.

You can use any of the following add-ons.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fdgueux-tabs-on-bottom/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
If you don't want to install an add-on, put the following style in the ''userChrome.css'' file and restart Firefox. You can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ the Stylish add-on] instead, if you have it installed.

This part of tabbed pane is not customizable as it lies in the ComponentUI(TabbedpaneUI) portion of the tabbedpane.
But I can point out the place u can change to bring the desired feature into effect.
U can find an Inner class called ScrollableTabSupport
Look for the methods createButtons where u can create extra buttons and add to the tabbed pane.
The Inner class also implements actionListener where u can implement the action for the button u added.
By this method U have to use your own extended TabbedPaneUI which u cant escape from.
Hope this will help u.

How can I place a "Favorites" tab in the toolbar - ie : like internet explorer has??

There is no provision for a list of "Favorites" (ie : as with internet explorer") with Firefox - this complicates use of realplayer with firefox.

Right click a blank part of the Tab bar and then click Customize. A panel will open and you'll find a number of buttons in there which you can drag onto the toolbar. The Bookmarks button has a white star on it.
Similarly, you can remove elements you don't like including toolbars by dragging them into that panel.
Also, while the panel remains visible, you can re-arrange the layout to your own liking by dragging elements like toolbars and buttons around.
For example, drag the "Home" button from its default position on the right of the Search bar and place it next to the others. Add spacers between buttons by dragging the vertical version between each (''but not between the Back/Forward buttons because they won't work anymore if you do'').
Other things you can do. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the location/search bars. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. However, you will lose the orange Firefox button if you do that. 
Reverse the procedure if you don't like the effect.
The status bar has been removed in Firefox 4.0.x, but you can get it back by installing this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

I can't find the New Tab button to place on the Toolbar. It is not in the customize the toolbar box. Where did it go?

New Tab Button can't be found.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.

Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 disappear when I swipe down? How can I lock it in place?

Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 using IO8 disappear when I swip down? Its annoying. I have to tap the top of the screen to view my open tabs.
why did Apple switch the position of the bookmarks icon and the favorites icon. Now I tap the wrong one.

There isn't a setting to stop the tab bar automatically hiding (or I haven't found one), and as to why the icons were moved I don't think that Apple have said. If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How do I get rid of the spinner that appears on the left side on the tabs?

(Firefox 25.0.1, Windows 8)
There's a little green spinner that appears to the left of "Connecting..." on the tabs while loading a page. Any way to get rid of it? It's been quite annoying me for a while.

You can manually create/edit the userChrome.css file. Here's how.
(1) Find (or create) the chrome folder. This is a folder in your currently active Firefox settings folder, also known as your Firefox profile folder.
* Open the your profile folder using: Help > Troubleshooting Information
** Windows: Click the "Show Folder" button
** Mac: Click the "Show in Finder" button
* Check for a chrome folder.
** If it exists: double-click it to open it.
** If it does not exist: create a chrome folder, then double-click it to open it.
(2) Create or Edit a userChrome.css file by adding your style rule.
* Check for a userChrome.css file in the chrome folder.
** If it exists: open it in a text editor. Check that it has this first line: @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); Then add the following lines and save the file: .tab-throbber { display: none !important }  
** If it does not exist: create a new text file named userChrome.css. (In Windows, right-click and choose New > Text Document and change the name to userChrome.css.) Then see the previous step for what to place in the file.
The rule change should take effect the next time you start Firefox.
Note: I find it easier to use the Stylish extension, but if you don't want yet another extension, then userChrome.css makes the most sense.

Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button 
or 
right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored.

I just downloaded the new 4.0 an now when I click on the tab it won't even load up, it'll look like the page will show up but then it won't an the it'll look like I never even clicked on it. What is going on? Why won't firefox work?

My firefox was working perfectly before when I had the 3.6 but now it just won't load up at ALL! I've dealt with it crashing on me while I was on the internet but I've never clicked on the tab OVER an OVER again an still not even having the home page show up on my screen. Its getting really frustrating and I now really wish I'd of just left my firefox the way it was. . .can you please help me??

Please do the following. 
#Use Internet Explorer 8 or 9 and go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] Do not choose "Run" when you see the prompt, but instead choose "Save" and save the file to your desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
Here are a few tips to make FF4 look like the previous version in case you don't like the new design. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there. 
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
How do I get "save and quit" back?
Thanks

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

[DATA LOSS] I closed the Tab Groups and all my tabs dissapeared. How can I recover the tabs in Firefox 26? Would you please just delete this feature?

Thank-you in advance for reading all of this.
A slip of the mouse in trying to return to the left-most tab caused the tab groups feature to take over the window. I completely failed to comprehend what I was looking at and closed the thing by clicking the x because I damn sure didn't want what I was looking at. Undo close group? Of course not, I didn't want a group in the first place. Hey! My tabs are completely gone now! So in just a few steps all of which seemed innocent, I have lost all but ten of the tabs that were open, and those were only the most recent ten (and actually older tabs would have been more valueable than newer so insult on top of injury).
I don't think increasing the number of undoable tab closures is the answer. I think getting rid of the tab groups feature all together is the best way to go. I seem to have lost all the tabs I had open, irretrievably, and some of them had been open for WEEKS so they can't be reopened from history.
The tab groups feature is a data loss bug. Please remove it from the UX completely. If you have to figure out a way to grandfather people who actually have a tab group, fine but don't further vex me with it, please.
The reason this catastrophe has occurred is that your feature, was so discoverable that I activated it by mistake, and the UI after that had to be learned on the spot, yet was too complicated to learn. You really should withdraw it until you can figure out how to keep the UI for it from causing data loss such as I have experienced this morning.
Also, there may be other questions on this feature which are from a certain point of view the same as this one. It's hard for me to tell for sure. None of them had a true resolution so that's why I posted this one, also I'm seeking a specific fix, removal of the offending feature.
Why remove the feature? Because if I allow in my discussion the possibility of retaining it, it will stick around in its present and dangerous form until your team is done bikeshedding the new form it should take. Instead I want you to delete the feature and then require its champion to convince you that a new incarnation won't cause data loss before you allow it back in.
Fellow users, if you know of a way to recover all 50 lost tabs from an "undo close tab group incident", I would be grateful for that advice, but I would still believe the feature should be deleted. Some of the tabs have been retained for months so digging them out of the history is not practical.

I am not 100% certain but I am fairly sure development of this tab feature has ceased and it is likely to be deprecated. I am even less sure what the replacement will be.

I have not tried this and am not even using Windows at present but the tabs groups are stored as entries in the sessionstore.js files. Firefox has such a file plus sometimes numbered copies and a backup copy. Firefox will have re-writen these files but I suppose there is a posibility the Windows OS may have kept copies.
* see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js Note the files are kept within the Firefox Profile
** Firefox Button -> Help -> Troubleshooting [open profile] (or some thing similar) is one method of locating the profile.
Find and backup any current sessionstore.js file. Consider also bookmark or otherwise recording anything you have open. Now find any previous versions and try putting them in Firefox's profile before restarting it.

How do I get the tab bar at the bottom of the screen (right above the task bar) WITHOUT Tab Mix Plus?

''locking - please stick with your original thread about this problem - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934590''
I like having the tab bar at the bottom of the screen; I use the task bar AT THE BOTTOM to switch between programs, so I want the the tab bar AT THE BOTTOM to switch between web pages. The only way I've found to get the tab bar at the bottom of the screen is the extension Tab Mix Plus. I used it for a long time, and it worked great.
Unfortunately, when I recently updated to Firefox 14.0.1, I encountered an error: I could no longer middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab (which I do ALL the time). After some troubleshooting, I found that it was being caused by some incompatibility between Firefox 14.0.1 and Tab Mix Plus; upon removing Tab Mix Plus, my middle-clicking was back to normal.
But without Tab Mix Plus, I'm back to having the tab bar at the top of the screen. I've searched and searched, and I can't find anything besides Tab Mix Plus that will let me put the tab bar at the bottom of the screen. I've found tons of stuff about the option "tabs on top", but that has to do with putting the tab bar above/below the navigation bar--it's still at the top of the SCREEN either way.
What can I do?

Reset the pref layout.scrollbar.side to '0' or set to '2' to place the scroll bar at the default right side.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
